This is very bad for America and even worse for the Cleveland GOP Conference this week.

Once again these figures are all from Meet the Press Sunday January 17th 2016.

My thoughts about race relations are that in more affluent times than these President Johnson in his wisdom then because he couldn't do anything about the Viet Nam War caused the Civil Rights Bill
of 1964 to be voted in by hook or by crook.

However, then the Great Recession happened and now white people use nepotism to get their kids educated and some kind of job going for them. However, the average black person in the U.S. has not job(especially under 30 years of age) and is left on Welfare or has to turn to crime to stay alive in order to separate from their parents. So, they still have the same civil rights but they don't have jobs to stay alive up until age 30. So, we see the present mess here in the U.S.

Only the most exceptional African Americans get ahead who are like Barach Obama who go to Yale or Harvard and become President of the United States or Governors or Mayors of their cities or heads of their own companies. However, most African Americans are left with almost no way to survive, especially after the Great Recession which stole away 50% to 75% of the wealth of the middle Class or lower classes. The only people who have gained now are people who were educated enough to stay in the Stock market or into Municipal bonds because generally speaking after property lost it's value in most communities during the Great Recession it has only regained much value in more expensive homes above 250,000 to 500,000 dollars in value and even then it mostly is on parity with what it was before the Great Recession even now.

So, because of all this African Americans don't have a lot of hope if they are under 30 years of age. And this spells trouble for everyone in the U.S. directly or indirectly.
